Very good

Was a beautiful unit. Not sure why gutter replacement was scheduled for our last day there. We made it work. More of a family unit than a two couple unit. It works though. Plenty of room to have friends over for dinner and game night. The deck is large but not two decks like listed. Nice under unit garage parking for a car. All in all still a great place to stay and enjoy.

Perfect location
The location was perfect for 2 Grandparents with 3 of their grandbabies! Ground level with a birds-eye view of the pool and a very short walk to the beach! Walking distance to many good restaurants, ice cream and mini-golf. The grandkids had a ball! The unit could use a little sprucing up though!

Great set up
Condo was very close to the beach. It had plenty of space for my wife and I and our daughter came down for a couple days with her girlfriend and still had plenty of room. The pool is right next door and was warm. We had the use of the garage and laundry room. It was super convenient. The deck was also a really nice size. Highlight was the proximity to the beach!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
Was good and would.probably do it again. Had some issues with parking but got it figured out. Had my trailer with me and was informed by security where I needed to move it and I did so immediately. Next day another guy comes and says the property manager says you have to register the trailer,pay a 50 registration fee and then 50 per day to park in the front lot. ( PLENTY OF PARKING SPACES all over the lot). I rufused to pay them another dime. I hooked up my trailer and drove about a block or so to a city lot. Nice and only cost like 10 bucks a day.

Cruisin' weekend
I really loved the proximity to the beach and where we park and hang out. Loved that there was a garage. Most of the things that could be better were small things that would not deter me from staying again. The wifi stopped working along with the cable. They got the cable back on but the wifi never worked. There were no cleaning supplied. Not just some kind of multipurpose cleaner. But no broom or vacuume. You can tell that they dropped off towels and sheets but nobody cleaned. It smelled like the house had been vacant for a while and nobody refreshed it. The bathtub was gross. There is also a door that leads from the kitchen to the outside so you don't have to leave the garage open to leave in and out, however there is no key to it so you either leave the door unlocked or the garage door open. One last thing the furniture was dirty looking as well. But still a good find and an awesome little condo.

Great Location
Stayed off-season, so can't comment on the pool or access to the beach, but appeared to be ocean view from the deck. Deck was large enough to spend time outside, which was a nice bonus. Kitchen tools get a B- grade. There's stuff there but it's not great. So great that linens are included in the rental.
